A young man was trying to pick the pocket of a passenger on a bus in Chongqing last Saturday, during which a Qigong master spotted him and beat him to the ground in a flawless feat.

 

Tang Xianli, 95, who has been practicing Qigong, a Chinese deep breathing exercise, since 71 years old. Tang told Chongqing Morning News that he was worried that he might have severely wounded the thief after hitting him.

Tang said that he hit the thief on the scapula after he found a man was trying to take his wallet. People on the bus clapped and shouted “Bravo” and some passengers even suggested that Tang send the man to police. However, seeing how badly the thief was hurt, Tang finally decided to let him go free.
